Hi everyone, I’m due in a couple of months with a little girl on the way - these are the names DH and I both like but I keep finding a negative in each of them so keep going round in circles trying to choose. We already have DD1, Lily - her name was easy to choose as it had a special meaning. We’re finding choosing a name for her sister harder!!

Sadie
Jasmine
Coral
Violet
Gracie/Grace
Scarlett
Pearl
Clara

Which one do you like best to go with Lily?
Thanks for your help!
Xx

Sadie, Cora, then Violet.

Rose.

I know 11 year old twins called Lily and Jasmine, and I think the names go nicely together. I don't see a problem with having two flower names. Lily and Violet go beautifully together too.

My favourites are Clara and Grace - both beautiful.
Least favourites are Sadie and Pearl.

Love Sadie

Sadie - beautiful, uncommon, goes well with Lily
Jasmine - I'm not keen on the name anyway and wouldn't choose two flower names
Coral - not keen. Would prefer Cora or Cara
Violet - two flower names
Gracie/Grace - nice, simple, goes well with Lily
Scarlett - it's ok
Pearl - nice name, not really my style but I think it would go well
Clara - lovely. This is probably my second favourite though I think Cara would be even better

Sadie then Clara for me - or Cara Wink

I'm liking Lily and Jasmine.
I also think you can't go wrong with an elegant classic like Grace (not Gracie)

TheLovleyChebbyMcGee · 08/11/2020 13:38

Violet is gorgeous! Clara is nice too, those are my favourites from your list. Lyra is also gorgeous!

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 08/11/2020 13:35

Violet.

Jasmine - another pretty flower name

Oneandabean · 08/11/2020 13:35

Scarlett and Clara go nicely with lily. I think jasmine and violet are a bit to much with lily.

MikeUniformMike · 08/11/2020 13:33

Lily and Cara are nice together.

MikeUniformMike · 08/11/2020 13:32

Sadie - ok, not my taste
Jasmine - like, but another flower
Coral - not keen
Violet - another flower
Gracie/Grace - goes well
Scarlett - ok
Pearl - looks pretty but I don't like the sound.
Clara - don't like it, but like Cara.

From your list I'd probably choose Jasmine or Scarlett.

I'd look outside the currently 'trendy' names and look at more traditional names like Margaret or Catherine.
